Hi Tracey,
Having sent a few to the list and elsewhere, here are my top tips :)
To: send to [log in to unmask] as usual
Subject: The subject line should include the where as well as the what. For my own mail filtering I always use [Job] but no-one else does so write it as you please - something like Vacancy: Wellcome Trust "job title" is sufficient but it doesn't hurt to add in basic salary details and when closing.
Text: The body text doesn't need to be anything more complicated than a copy / paste of the text on the website, make sure you include the web link (especially if there's a job description as it can't be attached on psci-com, also especially if people need to apply online), highlight the salary and closing date again, who to contact to apply and / or who to contact for an informal chat about the job. Invite people to pass on to interested parties and get them to do some of the work for you.
As a bonus it's quite helpful if people include both words 'job' and 'vacancy' as if someone's searching the archives at jiscmail using either of the words then the post will come up.
Hope that helps,
Jo

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Vacancy posting query
Dear psci
I would like to post a vacancy we have at the Trust on psci but am afraid that although I posted one last October I cannot remember how I did it. Can you please advise?
Your help is appreciated.

* the energy and enthusiasm to assist in the creation of a range of lively and well-attended science-related events.
This role is offered on a contract to cover a secondment, which we expect to run until the beginning of November 2011. Due to the nature of the work, a satisfactory Criminal Records Bureau check will be required.
